Hi,

it is very hard to explain it in English

It is a badge of an old German Artiste's association, founded in Hamburg, with several sections in Germany and, later, in Switzerland:

Artisten-Verein Sicher wie Jold. S.w.J.

later in Switzerland: Internationaler Artisten- und Musiker-Verband Sicher wie Jold.

"Sicher wie Jold" was a saying which served in the confirmation of an action, like "Everything is okay".

Time frame for this badge 1893 - 1934.

Regards

Uwe

I beg your pardon for my bad English
